Ping's Seafood

The last couple of times I've gone, the food has been less fresh and the seafood, which I love because it's the freshest that I've had at a dim sum place, was not good. Has anyone else noticed this occurrence? I hope it's only me. I am going again tomorrow cos I'm giving it one last chance.

I've dismissed their dim sum completely. Mushy shrimp har gow, cold chicken feet, waterlogged on most items and deep fried items were no longer crispy but cold. We spit out most of the items and complained but they didnt seem to really care. I went on a Friday high noon time.

that's a shame. loved pings in the past but have not been in over a year. when i hear a chorus of downhill claims, as opposed to a lone gunman, it hits home. and it makes me sad when it happens to a place i enjoyed

Exactly! In regards to DarthEater's comment about having doubts about the comments, I can certainly relate to that. My philosophy is that since taste is often a matter of personal preference, I usually take all the recommendations with a grain of salt, whether they are good or bad. A lot of times we won't know if we really like a place or not until we personally visit the restaurants to experience the food ourselves.

I would say the recommendations here are good "references" but we will have to try the restaurants ourselves and be the final judges.

Good examples in reverse over the years would be Dim Sum Go Go, Red Egg and Chinatown Brasserie, where mixed early comments left me skeptical but going there in person convinced me that these places were good.
